"May's net loss is a compensation timing story — gross profit hit $28,688, the strongest of the 4-month window, but a catch-up owner draw and contract labor surge swamped it."

Three Power Insights
Net Loss Traces to Compensation Timing, Not Business Weakness
April showed $0 in Guaranteed Payments; May jumped to $15,986 — likely two months combined. Add $8,000 in contract labor and operating expenses hit $35,730 on $28,688 in gross profit. A consistent monthly draw would smooth this out entirely.
Set a fixed monthly Guaranteed Payment of ~$8,000 going forward
Shipping Costs Are Compressing Margins Without Recovery
March gross margin crashed from 21% to 10% when shipping jumped from $1,203 to $8,487. Shipping now runs $10,000–$12,000 every month at 6% of revenue. Shipping income captured in May: $5. The gap is significant and entirely recoverable.
Review whether shipping charges are being passed to customers or absorbed
One Customer Holds 88% of Outstanding A/R
Bernard McAnena accounts for $8,650 of the $9,859 in current A/R — 88% concentration in a single name. The balance is current with no aging concerns, but this level of dependency is worth monitoring. If this customer slows payment, collections tighten fast.
